  • Power Cord

  • Mounting Screws (Qty. 4)

  • Cage Nuts (Qty. 4)

Installation Requirements

  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Standard-sized, 19″ wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available
  • For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
  • For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply. We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable
    Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the UniFi Switch itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.
    IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend using UPS backup and power regulation to prevent equipment damage due to stability issues with local AC power.

System Requirements

  • Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
  • Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended)
  • Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
  • UniFi Controller v5.4.x or higher
